meri taraf se zara apne dil ko saf karo
jo ho sake to khatawar ko mu'af karo

dil-o-nigah ki wus'at isi ko kahte hain
harif ke bhi mahasin ka e'tiraf karo

ba-zor-e-tegh mujhe tum jhuka nahin sakte
zamane-bhar ko saf-ara mere khilaf karo

nazar jhuka ke mere zikr par sar-e-mahfil
tum ek bar mohabbat ka e'tiraf karo

salib-o-dar muqaddar hain rast-goi ka
ba-ehtiyat sadaqat ka inkishaf karo

baja ho meri har ek baat lazmi to nahin
tumhein ye haq hai ki tum mujh se ikhtilaf karo

yahan khamoshi-e-ghairat ko kaun samjhega
har ek sitam ka sar-e-bazm inkishaf karo

jhulas na jae nai paud gulsitan ki kahin
faza ko zahr-e-ta’assub se pak-o-saf karo

utaro zehn mein ghazlon ki gul-badan pariyan
'shabab' zehn ko har raat koh-e-qaf karo
